Transform your chaos into cosmos

Tag Archives: intention

Once upon a time, the airwaves were flooded with the next magic pill to make people lose weight. People bought them. People fell for the nonsense…I was one of them.

After many years of riding that roller coaster, it has finally become apparent to the masses that those gimmicks are just that.

So what do you need to achieve?

You need the magic potion that I have for you. Pay careful attention. I am going to give you the recipe that you need to succeed. Not just at weight loss, but at life.

Ready?

Got your pen?

Paper?

Here we go:

You need the following:

Belief

Love

Intention

Vision

Brew those things together and you have the winning combination of ingredients required to make the most of your life.

Belief in yourself. Love of yourself. Soulful intention. And your mind’s eye view of you doing what you do.

That’s it. No pills. No scams. No silly gimmicks. Listening to yourself and loving yourself leads you to success in every aspect of your life. Your body, mind and soul know what you need. All you have to do is listen and obey.

Easy, huh?

If it isn’t, we’ll talk about why it isn’t as easy as it sounds next time.

And in case you are a bald eagle hovering over this site, reading…fitness isn’t about the numbers 🙂

Drop me a line and let me know what key ingredient you are missing from your Success Recipe. Thanks for hanging out and reading my wall…let’s get together on Twitter and Facebook, too!

When we start on a journey, without a destination in mind, we find ourselves lost. Any activity we undertake is that journey. By seeing what we want in our mind’s eye, we see the changes that we need to make so we can make our goals our realities.

Map it out

Just as we would map out our stops and routes on a road trip, we have to map out our writing journeys, our parenting trips, or even our fitness adventures. Imprinting the visual image of our accomplishments imprints our maps in our heads. Carrying this imprint internalizes our intention, as well!

Imprint your vision

When we visualize to materialize, our intentions are internalized and the Law of Attraction is put to work automatically. We know that intentions have to come from the heart, otherwise they are mere words soon forgotten. Setting the image in our minds of our end result and what we need to do to get there makes it second nature. We will then act the way that is necessary to bring us success.

If we want to be successful writers, we have to envision ourselves in all of our glory. We can visualize ourselves in that life and what we are doing, how we are acting, and how we handle our business. The same goes for any occupation or goal. Suppose we want to be super fit and healthy. We have to visualize ourselves as such. We have to see ourselves making decisions that lead to accomplishing that goal.

Live that life

Use those visualizations and imprints to guide your decisions in taking steps toward your goals. If you visualize yourself as a successful entrepreneur, refer to your visualized results and ask yourself is this decision one that your successful self would make? With fitness, we ask ourselves before we delve into that pint of ice cream if it will help achieve our super fit visualization of us.

What are your goals? See yourself living them. How do you act? What do you differently in that image than you do now?

Come and hang out with me on Twitter and Facebook…let’s achieve our goals together!

The Law of Attraction is simple: Like attracts like. Whether good or bad.

If we want to attract good, the decision is ultimately ours.

What kind of like are you attracting?

How we talk is a manifestation of what we think. How we act is a manifestation of how we talk. Why not think, talk, and act successfully? (Success is relative, of course, but I love Ralph Waldo Emerson’s definition to the left 🙂 )

Belief is the basis for what we think.

If we believe that we are rock stars, we think, talk, and act as rock stars. If we believe that we are unworthy of status, we elicit behaviors that sabotage our attempts at success.

We are manifestations of our beliefs.

That’s great as long as we believe in the true Soul that we are and not in our own skewed vision of Self.

Does Self stand in our way?

With writing, I often find my Self throwing up resistance (in the form of procrastination by spending too much time on Twitter, my Google Reader, Facebook, etc 🙂 ) at every peek at success(i.e. finishing a piece or making headway on the novel)…my Self is my roadblock.

If beliefs are aligned with the reality of Soul, then Self will not get in the way.

Can we change our beliefs? Yes, by changing what we say and reversing the order of the manifestations mentioned above.

Is it easy?

No. It isn’t easy, but if we are MINDFUL, if we are living INTENTIONally , then we set a course to rewire our hard drives to think in ways that bring about positive change and attract the results we want.

We have to define Self (who are we?). Connect our dots(bring all of our roles to an intersecting point). Connect to Other (family, friends, etc), in order to complete the image of our reality that we want to bring about.

We all have strengths. We all have gifts. We have to listen to Soul and recognize those strengths and gifts. Use positive Self Talk that we may or may not hear consciously (oftentimes, our actions manifest our beliefs more loudly than our words do, but that is another post 🙂 ).

Listen to Soul. Define who you are. Consider your reality. Create it.

Transform your chaos and order your cosmos by seeing Self for its beauty, defining the reality you want, and setting your INTENTION for positive bounty through the Law of Attraction.

What are your Soul gifts? How can you set your intention to make your reality the best reality it can be?
